The hunt continues for yearbooks from Northville High School and the district's junior high/middle schools.

The Northville Historical Society is trying to complete its collection of missing yearbooks. Society officials say a complete collection will allow future researchers to verify a family living in Northville, as well as take note of curriculum, sports, activities, fashions and popular language by looking through these volumes dating back to 1921.

Former society president and school board member Martha Nield got a good start on the middle school collection in December with donations of over 70 volumes from Media Assistant Laura Weaver and Assistant Principal Rob Watson at Hillside Middle School, Secondary Media Specialist Shannon Torres and Superintendent Mary Kay Gallagher.

"Now it is your turn," Nield said. "Please remember the archives at the Mill Race Village as you clean your closets this winter."

Donations are accepted from 9 a.m. to noon on Tuesdays at the Cady Inn on Griswold by Curator Carrie Lee (donors can receive a donation credit) or donors can call Nield at 586-918-7000 for a pickup. Potential donors who can’t part yet with their yearbook or prom program are being encouraged to consider allowing the Historical Society to make a digital record of your heirloom.

The Northville Public Library is also seeking additions to its local history collection, and Nield was able to increase the collection in December. Folks faraway can access their collections digitally. Librarian Wendy Mutch curates the Local History Section at the Public Library on Cady Street.

The following years are needed by the Historical Society: Northville High School Palladium 1961, 1973, 1974, 1976, 1977, 1978. The library needs the 1961, 1976, 1977 and 1978 Palladiums.

Missing junior high and middle school yearbooks are more extensive (and more confusing). The Historical Society and the library are lacking the Meads Mill books from 1978-1987, 1989-95, 1997, 2001-2004 and 2007-2016.

The collection for Cooke and Hillside needs to be added at the library for the following years: 1991, 1994, 1996, 1997, 1999, 2001 and 2016.

There are no Cooke Junior High School yearbooks in either the historical society or library collections.

Nield is also still searching for the Northville High School composite photos for the Classes of 1903, 1904, 1906, 1907 and 1920. Officials said they "provide a glimpse of names important to early Northville as well as clothing and hair fashions. The students and staff value this recognition of their heritage."
